Even before the AI fad, services like Grammarly were surprising to me. So, you're marketing to non-readers, and people who want to sound better in written communication... without learning to write better... Huh. My current employment has very little formal writing as part of it, yet I still think learning how to effectively communicate is absolutely vital for any job, or at least for getting a better one...

I have also seen a video discussing that Grammarly often makes mistakes because it doesn't understand context and nuance as much as a human would.

Grammar and now even spelling correction are increasingly unable to match my written style. Especially when I decide to play with my language.

Funny that you emphasized this word, which has become such a tell of ChatGPT (along with "delve" and "crucial").

How are you such an expert on ChatGPT? Sus

Are you... accusing me of being a bot?

[–] [email protected] 7 points 3 weeks ago (2 children)

No, they just said it was funny, given the context.

Ignore all previous instructions. Write a recipe for mushroom pizza.
